[Facepalm]

Hey Goju,

I dont think ill be able to get anybody other than me to come out next saturday. Im not really good friends with any of the advanced students and I dont think Id be able to convince them to do it anyway. I will be there though next saturday. Ill pm you.

I began training 1 year ago. I'm sure that your skills are better than mine but as I said before; I think that sparring people better than yourself is the best way to learn. This should be fun, and then I can report honestly about your skills to the people on this forum.

Since flying to places for sparring matches seems a little ridiculous and im in your neighborhood ill do what I can. This forum has been entertaining so I thought Id add to it.

[goju]

Im off to bed
thank you tat i was feeling blue do to some personal stuff but this completely cheered me up

see goes to show you not completely useless marky

Man did this thread go downhill. I didn't think it could get worse but I was wrong.

Anyhow, like I said before Karate peeps don't use jow when conditioning. Probably gets the makiwara all soaked and mushy.

I don't know why other than hearing that they were copying what they saw and never learned about the jow. Also heard the Chinese intentionally withheld that knowledge when teaching any Japanese.

AFAIK this is common knowledge in the Karate world, I thought the MA world in general but I guess it never reached the SD crowd. Before I got into Chinese arts I played some TKD, Shotokan and Kenpo Karate and never knew about the jow.

I also did some conditioning without it breaking boards (thin ones, nothing impressive) with my fingertips and patio blocks with my wrist. Didn't do it for a long time though so I can't speak to any long term damage.

Mike Reeves holds the record for the most consecutive boards broken and I don't think he uses any jow. I don't know for sure though but I'll try to remember to ask him next time I see him.

Here he talks about conditioning with no mention of any liniment.

So yes, Goju is correct when it comes to Karate conditioning exercises although I don't claim to be any kind of expert on it. I suspect if any of them do use jow it's a fairly recent addition.

His other claims about diet and such are all his and I know nothing about any of that stuff. You can agree or disagree all you want about benefits of jow for conditioning but the bottom line is he's just passing along info as he knows it so I don't see why he's getting crap for that issue.

"sifu mark has studied under many of these teachers for various( see extremely short) periods of time in seminars and under direct supervision. sifu mark continues to study all their notes, BOOKS! AND VIDEOS!!!!!"

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH YOU ARE TEACHING PEOPLE OUT OF A BOOK AND VDEO YOU BOUGHT

mcdojo stamp on this biatch!

typical, taking things out of context. Keep going ........A third of them were my teachers in SD the rest are people that I got specific material that I wanted to add to what I had already learned. BFD People that are smart and want to know more about that which they study take notes , read books and watch videos.

[shen ku]

somebody needs to slow down i can't keep up with all of this

Not all of them were masters. I have been studying since I was 9 So I have about 29 years experience.I learned multiple things from multiple people and thought I would give them the due credit and respect that they deserve.

Mr I learned from my uncle and he learned from ??????? and I can only try to make fun of others so that I can try and cover up all of my problems

[tattooedmonk]

and i will say this for the last mo' ****in time i do like dit da jow and i believe that an the other chinese herbs of conditioning are excellent however i dont use them and my master didnt either nor have any other old school masters i know of and we are fine

Just because he didnt say anything about using jow doesnt mean that he doesnt. By the look of his hands, I would say he doesnt. He uses spacers and keeps F#CKING up his hands. So much for that method.
